Meet Dr. Anita Mathews
Dr. Mathews began practicing dentistry in India, where she completed her dental education before continuing her training in the United States. She earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree and served as a Clinical Instructor at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts. After moving to California, she continued teaching as an Instructor of Clinical Oral Health at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco.
She has blended her diverse life experiences with a passion for patient-centered dentistry, providing comprehensive care for children and adults. She also provides care for patients with special needs through Special Olympics and outreach events like Give Kids and Veterans a Smile. She stays current through ongoing continuing education, keeping abreast of current technology and research. Being sensitive to dental anxiety, she invites you to share any concerns so she can help you in the best possible way.
Outside the office, Dr. Mathews enjoys exploring California's outdoors with her family — including Zeus, their black lab — while staying active in the Pleasanton community her family calls home.
